“I’ll hang up now.”
“Deputy Jeong, did you just wake up?”
Caught off guard, she lied, “Yes, I did,” only to immediately regret it, making the situation more awkward.
“Then go back to sleep.”
The call ended abruptly. Despite not having been asleep, fatigue washed over her. The once-promising weekend ended in a blur of events.
After hanging up, Taehong immediately received a photo on his phone. It was of Haegin and Juntae. Per his request, Haegin’s face filled the screen.
He chuckled at the photo. Observing Haegin had already revealed her expressive nature. The conveyed image mirrored her predictable reactions.
The conversation content remained unknown, as Juntae had insisted on privacy. Taehong had to guess the context from her expressions alone.
Was her shocked look due to being unable to report back, or was it fear of blackmail? Taehong decided to endure the guesswork.
He needed Haegin for a pivotal project he was leading this year. It was not just about solidifying his position as the successor but also about creating new opportunities for Yeonchang.
Asked whether Haegin was a card to keep or discard, his answer was clear.
She was a card he needed to hold.
The weekend passed in a blur, feeling neither restful nor entirely like a weekend. Haegin spent it in a tangle of thoughts, unable to relax despite doing nothing. Time moved on, regardless of her state.
During the drive to Taehong’s house, Haegin tried to compose herself. She didn’t want to bring her worries to work.
“Good morning, team leader.”
“Is it?” Taehong replied, scrolling through morning news on his phone. It was typical for him to respond vaguely to her greetings.
Initially, it felt a bit awkward, but Haegin eventually got used to it, and it became a part of their daily routine.
After finishing reading the news, Taehong would listen as Haegin briefed him on the day’s schedule. Some days he would close his eyes and listen; other days, he would occasionally glance at her.
“Deputy Haegin.”
“Yes?”
“Did you sleep well?”
Her spontaneous answer was yes, but her sallow skin and bloodshot eyes told a different story.
“Today, you’ll be leading the meeting with Planning Team 4.”
“I’ll prepare right away.”
“The topic is task allocation.”
Haegin nodded but then hesitated, “Task allocation?”
“You wanted to launch a brand, remember?”
“Oh, right.” Haegin was caught off guard by the suddenness of it.
“This project is crucial for the year.”
Haegin gripped the steering wheel tighter as Taehong stopped scrolling through his phone.
“My own stake is on the line, so we need to start preparing as soon as possible.”
The mention of his stake added pressure. Haegin had just managed to curb her matchmaking worries, and now this.
“Deputy Haegin, do you want to go public with your experience?”
Revealing her background meant exposing her connection to the now-failed Sion, and public scrutiny could potentially target her father, Hansung.
Wouldn’t that just turn into criticism and blame? Could she endure that?
“No. I don’t want to go public.”
“Alright.”
Taehong respected her wish. Haegin wanted only him to know about her past achievements and her identity as Hansung’s daughter. She wasn’t ready to face public judgment about Sion’s failure. The only person entitled to criticize her parents should be herself, their daughter.
She wanted to face these preconceptions head-on and prove herself through her work. Her past success in planning had given her confidence.
She was sure she could excel in this project too.
Following Taehong into the office, Haegin sat down at her desk. Team members began greeting Taehong, and soon they all prepared for the meeting.
“Let’s start the meeting in 30 minutes.”
The team moved efficiently, setting up the meeting room. Haegin, carrying relevant documents, entered last. Finally, Taehong entered, and the meeting began.
“Before we start the meeting.”
The pen spinning on Taehong’s finger stopped. As he paused, all the employees, who had been looking at their documents, lifted their heads, focusing intently on Taehong’s lips.
